Abstract

K. Sridhar’s paper argues that critically scrutinising the question of method in physics is important and relevant not only for the discipline but for all the sciences. Sridhar elucidates the several revolutionary ‘paradigm shifts’ in modern science, beginning with the pioneering work of Newton that displaced several long-standing ideas of the Aristotelian system, thus establishing the worldview of modern science. Sridhar argues that in many ways, Newton’s ‘new physics’ actually brought questions of method in science to the fore. As science began to constitute its subject matter, it took up several questions that had hitherto constituted the domain of theology and philosophy
